- Ensure surface is clean dry and free from any oil or grease that will contaminate the coating and prevent drying
- Ensure surface is at ambient temperature prior to painting to avoid blooming and a slow dry time
Application Tips
- Stir well before use with a substantial stick or metal stirrer
- 1-2 coats recommended for best results depending on substrate. For example, porous substrates like wood and timber may need 2 coats, nonporous like metal with require 1 coat

Application - Painting over existing paint
Step 1 - Check suitability of the product to the existing paint. We recommend you try a sample area first.
Step 2 Clean and Abrade -
- Make sure the existing paint is in good condition prior to painting, then lightly abrade to provide a key for good intercoat adhesion.
- If there is flaking paint this must be removed prior to painting.
- For any parts that has rusted you will need to sand the rust back to the bare metal and spot prime with the appropriate primer.
- Ensure substrate is clean of any dirt, oil, or grease
Step 3 Prime – This step is down to personal preference, depending on the condition of the existing paint or if you are changing a dark colour to a light you may want to add one coat of primer.
Step 4 Topcoat- Once you have completed the following steps you can apply your top coat.
Application - Painting a bare substrate
Step 1 Clean - Ensure substrate is clean of any dirt, oil, or grease.
Step 2 Prime – Depending on the material you are painting will determine what primer you will need.
Metal - click here
Wood, Concrete, Stone or Brick - No primer required. First coat will prime and seal. We recommend that on your first coat thin by 20% to ensure it impregnates the substrate. Then
Step 3 Topcoat – 12-24 hours after applying the primer you can add your first coat of topcoat. Wait another 12-24 hours and then apply the second coat.
Good Preparation of the floor is paramount to an excellent long lasting finish. Make sure floor is dry and clean from dust, dirt, moisture, oil etc before painting. Never pre seal the floor prior to painting especially with latex or PVC sealers paint will not stick.
New Concrete Floors will need time to green this generally is a period of 3-6 months from when the concrete floor is laid, we say 3-6 months as it depends on the thickness of the concrete and quality, it’s always best ask the supplier and fitter of the concrete floor as to how long to wait till painting.
